After the fight with Artie, Mattie and I went home. It was so depressing though, so Mattie tried to cheer me up by turning on the radio. Of course though, every station he turned to had a song playing about heartbreak, relationships, and all that shit, and even the commercials had something to do with it.

"Do you need a boost in your relationship? Then buy Trojan brand condoms today! The pleasure you want, the protection you trust."

Fuck my life, man.

When we got to the campus, Mattie dragged me to his dorm. I was kinda paranoid now though. What if Artie actually thinks Mattie and me are a THING? Shaking from those thoughts from my head, I vaguely felt myself being pushed into the room.

"What are we doing here?" I asked Mattie, trying to distract myself from my stupid, paranoid thoughts.

"Well, since I don't have a lot of relationship experience I was thinking we should ask Francis for advice."

Making sure it was Mattie's bed, (I don't wanna get aids by my butt making contact with the Frenchie's sheets!) and shot him a weird look, before I faked gagging.

"Why the hell would we ask that guy for help?"

"Because you fucked badly, and for once I don't know how to fix it." Mattie let out a sigh and sat next to me. Again my paranoia took ahold of me and made me scoot just a little bit away from my former best friend. Of course he noticed it and questioned it. Damn nosy Canadians!

"What's wrong with you?"

I twirled my thumbs a little and shyly looked away. I already made Artie mad, I didn't want to make Mattie mad also. He knew about the Hero's Plan! I can't get him mad! Who know's who he'll babble to?

"Well...uh...I..um..."

"Spit it out already!"

"Geez christ! Don't go all Hulk Canadian on me Mattie!"

"If you don't spill I will!"

"Well, you know what I told Artie...about you being boyfriend material...and stuff...well...I don't want him to believe it so..." I trailed off. Man, I'm suppose to be a Hero! And Heros make awesome speeches! So where the fuck is mine?!

"...So you're acting paranoid because you think people see us as a couple?" Matthew deadpanned. Then he proceeded to burst out laughing.

I felt my face heat up with embarrassment and anger. This guy! I'm obviously not having a good day and he decides to laugh at my nervousness! What the hell man?!

"Shut up! How would you feel if Gilbert thought you and me had a thing going, huh?!" I blurted out, shaking my fist of righteous fury.

Mattie's laughing began to die down, and he wiped away invisible tears before reaching under the bed to retrieve a bag of Doritos. The bag caught my eye and I made grabby hands towards the red bag, which he so kindly ignored. That fattie.

"Oh please, Gilbert would never think that." He said while popping a chip into his mouth. That goddamn asshole! Eating those deliciously cheesy snacks when I have a real crisis at hand!...And not sharing!Fatass

I though manners were important! What happened to all that 'Sharing is Caring' shit? Mattie obviously isn't following the rules! The Hero cannot lose to a fatass villain like this!

"Oh yeah? And how are you so sure?" I questioned as I tried (unsuccessfully) to swipe the bag of chips.

Suddenly the door slammed wide open, making me jump about five feet in the air. Not because I was scared though, those were just my natural instincts. Gotta be in tip-top shape, right?

"Because I know that you are totally gay for that Brit!" Came the obnoxious shout of a certain Nazi-asshole. After recovering from my near heart attack, I settled back down on the bed, and watched as the German and the Frenchie entered the dorm.

"Oui, that is true. Anyways, may I ask why Alfred is here? Not that I mind~"

"Gross. I was dragged here against my will so-" I started but was cut off by a certain Canadian who was still munching on Doritos.

"What he means to say is that he needs advice."

"Oh? How may I be of service?"

Mattie stood up to throw his now empty bag of chips away, and went to sit with the German, leaving the Frenchie to sit next to me. Great.

"Well, I...um...I...kinda...uh..." Ohmygerd. I sound ridiculous, but I just couldn't get the words out! Thankfully, Mattie decided to step in and explain to Francis the issue.

After the retelling of my horrible day, the room stayed silent for a second time. This time instead of Mattie bursting out laughing, it was the other two assholes. I felt my face and the tips of my ears heat up again, which was so unhero like.

"Mwahahahaha. The awesome me -ahahaha- can't s-stop -hahaha- laughing!"

Surprisingly the Frenchie calmed down first, and just smirked in my direction. Mattie tried to calm down Gilbert, who had begun to choke on his own spit. Ha, serves him right. Dat hoe.

"Well mon ami, I must agree with Mathieu. You did 'fuck up' pretty badly~" I groaned and fell back against the bed. Everyone was laughing and telling me about my failure, but no one's helping me!

"Yeah, yeah, I get it. My failure was hilarious! Now stop laughing and actually tell me how to fix it, please?" That got everyone's attention. It's not often you get to hear a Hero like me ask for something so politely.

Francis shot me what I guess he thought was a 'seductive' smirk, and flipped his hair over his shoulder in a girly fashion. Geez I might be gay and stuff, but I could never beat this guy. It's a wonder how he lands in bed with so many girls. Are aids actually attractive now?

"It's simple really mon cher, you just have to apologize." A sudden realization hit me and I shot straight up. I stood up and grabbed Francis' hand, shaking it eagerly.

"Aw thanks man! This really helped me out!" I said happily. When he tried to kiss my hand though, I yanked it away and used it to bitch slap him, still grinning. The slap left Gilbert and Mattie giggling like the weirdos they were, but I didn't spare another second in getting the heck out of there.

I ran all the way to my dorm, knowing Artie must have come back already. All I had to do was apologize! Duh! I'll do it all romantically, like in the movies! Artie digs that type of shit! Then everything will be okay!

I burst through the door, but as soon as my eyes landed on Artie's bed, I froze. My jaw dropped in shock and confusion, as I shifted my head to meet my equally shocked boyfriend's gaze.

"Artie? What's going on?"

I know its short. I know there's a cliffhanger. I know it sucks. I know, I know, I know. Trust me. It WILL get better...I hope. :/

Wanna review? Tell me your honest thoughts on this. Please? I want to know.
